00:00The Kraft Foods Company presents Willard Waterman as the Great Gilded Sleeve.
00:22The Great Gilded Sleeve is brought to you partially transcribed by the Kraft Foods Company.
00:27Kraft, makers of the one and only Miracle Whip salad dressing.
00:31We say one and only because there just isn't any other salad dressing like Miracle Whip.
00:36Miracle Whip is different and it tastes different.
00:40Miracle Whip tastes so good it's become the most popular salad dressing ever created.
00:45More Miracle Whip is sold than the next 20 leading brands of salad dressing combined.
00:50Try it. Make your salads better tasting with the one and only Miracle Whip.
00:57The Great Gilded Sleeve
01:07The Great Gilded Sleeve has never plunged into the sea of matrimony,
01:11but he does like to dangle his toes in the water once in a while.
01:16A few days ago he met a Miss Gloria McKinley, manager of the complaint department at Hogan Brothers.
01:21He hasn't had a date with her yet, but this afternoon
01:25he has persuaded her to let him drive her home from work.
01:28Accordingly, we find him parked in front of the store with his motor running.
01:33I better leave it running too.
01:35That policeman in the corner has his eye on me and I'm parked in a loading zone.
01:39Well, I'm waiting to pick up a pretty little package.
01:43Right, George, I want to make a good impression on her.
01:46Should have washed the car.
01:48I didn't notice Leroy written in the dust and the hood.
01:51Oh well.
01:53Yoo-hoo, Gilded!
01:55Uh-oh, Judge Hooker. He would have to show up.
01:58Gilded, you're in a loading zone.
02:01I know it, Judge.
02:02And your motor's running.
02:03I know that too.
02:05Why don't you turn it off before it boils over?
02:08Well, it is beginning to steam.
02:11You better start it up again, Gilded. You're too close to the fire plug.
02:15Oh my goodness, the only backseat driver I ever saw who stands on the curb.
02:20Are you waiting for somebody?
02:22Judge, I'm not just sitting here trying to run out of gas.
02:25Oh, I know. It's closing time and I'll bet you're waiting for Miss McKinley.
02:30Do you have a date?
02:31You bet. She's letting me drive her home.
02:34Well, I guess she figures that's better than taking the bus.
02:37Yes, yes.
02:39She can save a dime and make fewer stops.
02:42Unless you plan to stop and watch the sun setting behind the reservoir.
02:47Judge, will you please go away?
02:50As it happens, Gilded, I must.
02:52I'm going home and reading the Fourth of July speech.
02:55I'm orating at Kraft Park.
02:57Well, I thought Congressman Greenhalgh was going to speak.
02:59Well, he's leaving for the convention and I'm reading the speech that he prepared.
03:03Oh?
03:04I suppose you'll be there to hear me.
03:06There must be a better way to spend the Fourth than listening to an old goat.
03:10Gilded, I don't exactly relish the assignment.
03:15Miss Matterhorn is vacationing at Virginia Lakes and I plan to go up there for the Fourth.
03:20Judge, I don't envy you reading somebody else's speech.
03:23Well, if I don't like what the Congressman has written, I can always preface it by saying
03:27the views expressed in the speech do not necessarily represent the views of the speaker.
03:31Step aside, Judge.
03:33What?
03:34Here comes Miss McKinley.
03:35Oh, I'll open the door.
03:36Judge, let me open it.
03:38It's already open.
03:39Busybody.
03:41Hello, Miss McKinley.
03:44Sorry about kept you waiting, Mr. Gildersleeve.
03:46Not at all.
03:47I've kept him entertained.
03:49Judge, hop in, Miss McKinley.
03:51Oh, thank you.
03:55Judge, you may now close the door.
03:58Well, aren't you going to introduce me?
04:00Oh, all right.
04:02Miss McKinley, may I present Judge Hooker.
04:05How do you do, Judge?
04:06This is a rare pleasure, Miss McKinley.
04:09Look at him bow.
04:10If he isn't careful, he'll bump his head on the running board.
04:14Goodbye, Judge.
04:16Goodbye.
04:17Goodbye, Judge.
04:22I told you goodbye, Gildy.
04:24Why don't you go?
04:26Yes, yes.
04:28Come on, car.
04:32Could your car be out of gas?
04:34Oh, the Water Commissioner doesn't burn gas.
04:36He burns water.
04:39Oh, Judge.
04:40Darn car would have to embarrass me at a time like this.
04:47My, my, what a noisy car.
04:49Goodbye, Judge.
04:51Why don't you bring it to the park on the 4th and we'll use it instead of firecrackers?
04:58What a room of comedians.
05:00Is Judge Hooker a friend of yours?
05:02He poses as one.
05:04Well, all in one afternoon I've met a distinguished judge
05:09and I'm being driven home by the City Water Commissioner.
05:13Well, Miss McKinley, you'd be riding in a new car if this wasn't election year.
05:18You've heard the cracks about freezers and fur coats and stuff like that, I guess.
05:22Uh-huh.
05:23You men in the public eye have so many things to think about.
05:27Well, scarcely a day goes by that I don't think about something.
05:32I've always wondered what important men talk about.
05:35So have I.
05:36Oh, oh, oh.
05:39You mean the judge and me?
05:40Of course.
05:41You don't have to be so modest, Mr. Gildersleeve.
05:45Well, thank you.
05:48Well, now, what problems were you two men wrestling with?
05:51Oh, nothing important, really.
05:54When you came up, we were just discussing the 4th of July speech.
05:57Oh.
05:58Are you going to deliver the speech at the 4th of July celebration?
06:02Me?
06:03How thrilling!
06:05Well, anyway, that's what the judge and I were discussing.
06:08And he was asking you to deliver the speech.
06:11Well, no, not exactly, Miss McKinley.
06:13Originally, our congressman was supposed to make the speech.
06:16Oh!
06:17But he couldn't be here, so he had to ask somebody else.
06:20So the congressman himself asked you.
06:23Are you a close friend of his, too?
06:25Well, I voted for him.
06:28He helped put him in office, I mean.
06:30How wonderful that he asked you to take his place.
06:34What are you going to say in front of all those people, Mr. Gildersleeve?
06:37Well, frankly, I haven't given it much thought.
06:40I don't suppose that's a problem to an experienced orator like you.
06:44Well, you can be sure I'll come up with something.
06:48I wonder what I will come up with.
06:56THE END
07:03So that's how it happened, Marjorie.
07:05Now I'm behind the eight ball.
07:07Unky, why did you lead her to believe you were going to make the speech?
07:10I didn't.
07:11When a woman wants to believe something, she just believes it.
07:14I got an idea, Unk.
07:15What's that, Leroy?
07:16Tell her you can't make the speech because you have laryngitis.
07:19But I don't have laryngitis.
07:21Go get your feet wet and catch it.
07:23Leroy, don't be ridiculous.
07:25I'm not even supposed to give the speech.
07:27That's Judge Hooker's job.
07:28Why didn't you just tell her Judge Hooker was supposed to do it?
07:31Well, she made it sound like such a big thing I couldn't say no.
07:35She'll probably be sitting in the front row,
07:37and if I don't appear, she'll think I'm a braggart.
07:39Yeah.
07:40She'll think I'm just trying to attract attention to myself.
07:42Yeah.
07:43She'll lose respect for me.
07:44Yeah.
07:45She'll think I'm just a big...
07:46Windbag?
07:47Yeah.
07:49Leroy.
07:51I'm just helping you out.
07:52Yeah, well, don't put words in my mouth.
07:54Okay.
07:55What are you going to do, Onky?
07:56Well, now that I'm in this deep, there's only one thing to do.
08:00Call her and tell her she made a mistake about the whole thing.
08:02She made a mistake?
08:04Well, she got the wrong impression.
08:06I'll tell her Judge Hooker is making the speech.
08:08Oh, I think that's very wise, Onky.
08:10You bet.
08:11She'll like me better if I tell her the truth.
08:13Yeah, I'll drive over and see her right now and clear up the situation.
08:16I'll get it!
08:18All right, Bertie.
08:19If it's for me, I'm just leaving.
08:21Yes, sir.
08:23Miss Gildersleeve.
08:25One moment, please.
08:26It's for you, Miss Gildersleeve.
08:28Bertie, I said I was leaving.
08:30Yes, sir, but this is a lady.
08:32And when there's a lady on the phone, I know you ain't going nowhere.
08:39Oh, well.
08:43Hello?
08:44Hello, Mr. Gildersleeve.
08:46This is Gloria McKinley.
08:48Miss McKinley?
08:49Oh, yes, Miss McKinley.
08:51Well, I was just thinking about you.
08:54There's something I want to talk to you about.
08:56Oh, I hope you don't think it's terrible of me to phone you,
08:59but there's something I must talk to you about, too.
09:02Good.
09:03Glad you called, but first let me clear up something about that Fourth of July speech.
09:06The speech of yours is what has me so excited.
09:08I've just had the most marvelous idea.
09:11Who?
09:12Hogan Brothers is having a special Fourth of July window display.
09:15Fine.
09:16Now, about the speech.
09:17I'm coming to that.
09:18I'm so thrilled about your making the speech.
09:20I'm having our art department put a sign in the store window.
09:24A sign in the window?
09:26Telling people not to miss the important address to be delivered in Kraft Park
09:30by Commissioner Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve.
09:35Zeke.
09:38Why?
09:39Miss McKinley, you shouldn't have done that.
09:41Oh, it was nothing.
09:42Yes, it was. You don't understand.
09:44Suppose I don't even make the speech.
09:46But you said you were going to.
09:48Now, wait a minute, Miss McKinley.
09:50Mr. Gildersleeve, you weren't just leading me on, were you?
09:54Miss McKinley, I'd never do that.
09:57Oh, I'm sure you wouldn't.
09:59Now then, what did you want to talk to me about?
10:01You said there was something that needed clearing up.
10:04Clearing up?
10:06Oh, yes, yes.
10:07Well, it's a little cloudy.
10:10I hope the weather clears up so I can give that speech.
10:13The sun is shining at my house.
10:15It isn't shining over here.
10:30You look a little better this morning, Hans.
10:32You don't look so worried and wrinkled.
10:34Leroy, I'm not wrinkled.
10:36And I do feel better this morning.
10:38I don't get it.
10:39You meet a new girl and the first time you take her out,
10:41you get yourself in a big hassle.
10:43Yeah, I'm not in a hassle.
10:44I figured the whole thing out.
10:45Yeah?
10:46Judge Hooker doesn't want to make the 4th of July speech anyway.
10:49All I have to do is offer to make it for him.
10:51He'll be delighted.
10:52Then he can go to Virginia Lakes and see Miss Matterhorn.
10:55You'd rather look at Miss Matterhorn than make a speech?
10:58Well, there's no accounting for taste.
11:01Yeah, I'm stopping here in the judge's office, my boy.
11:03See you later.
11:04So long.
11:07The judge's door is open.
11:11Look at him wave his arms.
11:13I wonder if he's practicing his speech or there's a bee in his office.
11:16And now, ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to preface my remarks
11:19by relating an amusing little anecdote.
11:22He's working on his speech, all right.
11:24On the way to Craft Park this afternoon, I met two gentlemen named Pat and Mike.
11:27Pat and Mike.
11:29Judge!
11:30Pat said to Mike...
11:31Judge, do you mind if I interrupt?
11:32Oh, hello, Gilday.
11:34I was just rehearsing the opening of my 4th of July address.
11:37Well, judge, you can forget the speech.
11:39What?
11:40Yeah, I know your heart isn't in it.
11:42So I thought I'd go up and join Miss Matterhorn.
11:44Well, the speech is knocking me out of the trip.
11:46It doesn't have to.
11:47I've come to do you a big favor, old friend.
11:50Oh?
11:51I've decided to make the speech for you.
11:53You have?
11:55Why?
11:57Why?
11:58Well, judge, don't ask silly questions.
12:01Just take advantage of my generous offer and hit the road.
12:04Gilday, why are you so anxious to get me out of town?
12:07You must have a reason.
12:09I'm only thinking of you and Miss Matterhorn.
12:11You know you want to be with her and she wants to be with you.
12:14Well, yes, she does.
12:16I had a card from her this morning saying,
12:18having wonderful time, wish you were here.
12:20You see, judge, now get going and forget about the speech.
12:23Just hand it to me.
12:24No, I'd better make the speech.
12:26The congressman asked me.
12:28Well, you can ask me.
12:29Go ahead, ask me.
12:30I'll do it.
12:31In fact, I've got to do it.
12:32I won't do that to our congressman.
12:34Oop!
12:35You know I'm a better speaker than you are.
12:37Is that so?
12:38I heard you speak at the Elf's Club once.
12:40And even the stuffed elk got up and walked out.
12:44Yes.
13:08Well, the great Gildersleeve was so anxious
13:10to impress his new girlfriend, Miss McKinley,
13:12that he was willing to let her believe
13:14he was making the important 4th of July address in Kraft Park.
13:18Now, the water commissioner is in hot water.
13:22The judge certainly did surprise me, Marjorie.
13:25He didn't care a thing about making the speech
13:27until he found out somebody else wanted to do it.
13:29Well, that's a very human reaction, Anki.
13:31That's the trouble with the old goat.
13:33He's too human.
13:34He immediately suspected that I was up to something.
13:36Weren't you?
13:37Well, naturally.
13:39But what sort of a friend is he to accuse me of it?
13:42Ain't you giving the speech, Miss Gildersleeve?
13:44Apparently not, Bertie.
13:46Yes, sir.
13:47But there's a sign in Hogan Brothers' window that says you are.
13:50I know, Bertie.
13:51It says,
13:52Here, Commissioner Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve
13:54speak on the 4th of July.
13:56I saw that sign, Bertie, but it's misleading.
13:58Then you're not reading the congressman's speech?
14:00No.
14:01The congressman really asked the judge.
14:04Because the congressman didn't want to?
14:06Well, he wanted to, but he couldn't, Bertie.
14:08Yes, ma'am.
14:09And the judge didn't want to, but I do, so now he wants to.
14:12Oh, yes, sir.
14:13I wonder if that speech knows who's going to make it.
14:18What do you mean, Bertie?
14:19Well, the congressman wanted to make it, but he couldn't,
14:22and the judge could and would, but he didn't want to.
14:25Then you come along and want to but couldn't
14:27because when you wanted the judge to give it up, he wouldn't.
14:34Bertie, it isn't funny.
14:35No, sir.
14:36Anki.
14:37Anki, don't you think you should call Miss McKinley
14:40and tell her to take that sign out of the window?
14:42Well, I'm going to phone the judge
14:45and give him one more chance to change his mind.
14:49I'd hate to crawl back to him and beg him,
14:52but beggars can't be choosers.
14:58Hello.
14:59Judge Hooker speaking.
15:01Hello, Judge.
15:02About that speech you don't want to give.
15:04What about it, Gilda?
15:05Well, I just wondered if you wouldn't reconsider.
15:07I have reconsidered.
15:08You have?
15:09My answer is still no.
15:11Oh, my goodness.
15:13I saw that sign in Hogan Brothers' window.
15:15Well, then, you see, I have to make the speech
15:17or I'll be the laughingstock of the town.
15:19Good. May I be the first to laugh?
15:24Now, hang up, will you? I'm busy.
15:26I have a million things to do.
15:27But...
15:28I have to study my lines, go to the barber shop,
15:30stop by the cleaners from a blue suit.
15:32The only one that I can wear for the speech.
15:34Oh?
15:35You don't have another suit?
15:37When I thought I was going to rough it at Virginia Lakes,
15:40I sent all my suits to the cleaners.
15:42They're rushing my blue search for me.
15:44Well, Judge.
15:46Horace.
15:48Old friend.
15:49If you're so busy, why don't I stop by
15:51and pick up your suit for you?
15:53Would you do that for me, Gilda?
15:56You bet.
15:58Naturally, I want to do anything I can
16:00to help make the 4th of July a success.
16:02Well, Gilda, be sure to pick it up before 5.
16:05The cleaners are closed over the 4th.
16:07Don't worry, Judge.
16:08You'll have something to wear.
16:10Thank you, Gilda, old friend.
16:12I have to hang up now and get busy.
16:14Yeah, I have to get busy, too.
16:16Goodbye, Judge.
16:17Goodbye.
16:20You don't seem the least bit upset
16:22about not getting to make the speech.
16:23Oh, not a bit, my dear.
16:25Just imagine.
16:26The Judge doesn't have a thing to wear tomorrow.
16:31What's so funny?
16:33Onky, you are going to pick up the Judge's suit, aren't you?
16:36Sure.
16:37But there could be many a slip
16:38between the cleaners and Judge Hooker's house.
16:40Bertie!
16:41Yes?
16:42Is Leroy's little blue suit up in the closet?
16:46Oh!
16:59Yeah, Gilderslee, you're pretty clever.
17:01Pretty clever the way you outfoxed the Judge.
17:04Yeah, I had quite a time explaining
17:06why I didn't bring the suit by last night.
17:08Now it's too late for him to do anything about it.
17:11Wait until he tries to put on Leroy's suit.
17:15Lucky for the old Judge,
17:16I can step into the breach, though.
17:19I can see Miss McKinley now,
17:21sitting in the front row,
17:23in something summery,
17:24listening to me give the speech.
17:27Well, Gildy,
17:28it's about time you got here.
17:30Hello, Judge.
17:32Here's the suit in the bag.
17:35All right, give it to me.
17:37Don't be so impatient, Judge.
17:39If you'll excuse me,
17:40I'll slip into the next room.
17:42I want to dress and rehearse my speech
17:44in front of the mirror.
17:45Yeah, old brother.
17:47Wait until he sees himself in that suit.
17:51If you hadn't shown up with this suit,
17:53I'd have had to leave for Virginia Lakes.
17:56I certainly couldn't make the speech
17:58in my bathing suit.
18:00Well, your barber pole swimsuit
18:02covers you pretty well, Judge.
18:04I can't see very well in here.
18:06Gildy, are you sure this is my suit?
18:10Yes, it's Blue Surge.
18:12That's funny.
18:14Feels awfully small.
18:16Maybe you've gained weight, Judge.
18:18I might have gained a couple of pounds,
18:21but I know I haven't grown this much
18:24by the pants' cuffs come clear up to my knees.
18:28They do?
18:30Yeah, everything's shrunk.
18:33Gildy, come in here and look at this.
18:36I'd like to.
18:38This is ridiculous.
18:39Oh, my goodness.
18:40Judge, you can't stand up in public like that.
18:42Stand up? I can't even sit down.
18:45Judge, don't try it.
18:47I can't bend. See?
18:50Oh! Leeroy's suit!
19:03Bertie, how's my new suit?
19:06I'm gonna need it.
19:07It's present in the closet.
19:08Are you making the speech?
19:10You bet.
19:11The Judge is on his way to Virginia Lakes.
19:13Yes.
19:14You should have seen him trying to squeeze into Leeroy's pants.
19:17Yes.
19:18Where's Leeroy's suit now?
19:20Well, I'll have to buy him a new one.
19:22But it was worth it.
19:23I sure tricked the old Judge.
19:25Yes, but this ain't April Fool's Day, you know.
19:28What's this, Bertie?
19:29This is the 4th of July, and that's Independence Day.
19:32It ain't April Fool's Day.
19:34No, Bertie.
19:35The Judge don't get to speak, and Leeroy lost his pants.
19:37But that don't make it April Fool's Day.
19:39This is Independence Day, and you don't fool around with Independence.
19:42Yeah, all right.
19:43Mr. Gilslee, do you know why you don't play April Fool jokes on the 4th of July?
19:46Yes, Bertie.
19:47That's right, because it's Independence Day, and you don't fool around with Independence.
19:54Good old Bertie.
19:56She takes Independence Day pretty seriously.
19:58Well, I do, too.
20:01That's why I want to be with Miss McKinley.
20:03She seems to like big shots, and by George, that's exactly what I am.
20:07I'll mesmerize her with my speech, and then take her to the hot dog stand.
20:12Ah! Get it in!
20:14Never mind, Bertie.
20:15I'm right here.
20:17Wonder who that is.
20:19Hope the Judge didn't decide to come back and speak in his bathing suit.
20:23Hello, Truck Morton.
20:25Miss McKinley.
20:27I didn't expect to see you.
20:29Come in.
20:30I haven't time.
20:31I just stopped by on my way out of town.
20:34Out of town?
20:35But I just couldn't leave without wishing you luck with your speech today.
20:39Miss McKinley, you're not going to be there?
20:42Oh, didn't I tell you?
20:44I'm going to Hogan Brothers' 4th of July picnic with the assistant manager.
20:48Assistant manager?
20:50But I thought you wanted to hear me speak.
20:52Oh, I do, but I can't afford to offend the assistant manager.
20:56You can't?
20:57Mr. Gilslee, he's an important man.
20:59But what about me?
21:00Oh, you can read me the speech some other time.
21:03Goodbye now, and I'll be thinking about you every minute.
21:08Hmm, big help.
21:23Why don't you leave him for the park, Unc?
21:25Oh, I don't care whether I go or not, Leroy.
21:29Somehow my heart isn't in reading the speech.
21:32Well, gosh, you sure worked enough angles to get the chance.
21:36No, Leroy, all this is Judge Hooker's doings.
21:39What?
21:40What a sneaky thing to do.
21:42Run off to Virginia Lakes and have the time of his life,
21:45toss his old speech in my lap.
21:47Get him.
21:49Oh, brother.
21:51I don't have to make this speech.
21:53I'm not trying to impress anybody.
21:55Oh, that's right.
21:56She ran out on you, didn't she?
21:58Leroy.
22:01Miss Gilslee, aren't you putting on your new suit?
22:04Oh, I don't know, Bertie.
22:05It's getting late.
22:06I see people heading for Kraft Park.
22:08I'm going to parade with the boy scouts, Unc.
22:10Good for you, my boy.
22:12I just saw a man in a uniform pass here with a bass drum.
22:15There's going to be big doings today.
22:17Great.
22:18Leroy, I think I'll let you take the speech down
22:21and give it to somebody on the committee.
22:23Yeah, who?
22:24Well, give it to Mr. Sprague.
22:27He likes to be in the limelight.
22:29Is this the speech here on the table?
22:31What's the speech about?
22:33It says freedom.
22:35And you ain't going to read it, Mr. Gilslee?
22:38Bertie, it isn't my job.
22:39Congressman Greenhalgh wrote the speech.
22:41It was his job to give it.
22:43Yes.
22:44Then it was the judge's job.
22:45Then they wished the job on to me.
22:47Yes.
22:48Hey, Unc.
22:49It says here that freedom is everybody's job.
22:53What's that?
22:54The speech says the survival of our freedom depends on everybody.
22:59Who?
23:00And listen to this.
23:01If we want to preserve the liberties we commemorate on this Fourth of July,
23:09each of us must conscientiously work at being good citizens.
23:15Yes.
23:16If you want to do anything right, you've got to work at it.
23:18If you want to be a good cook, you've got to work at it.
23:21If you want to be a good citizen, you've got to work at it.
23:24That's true, Bertie.
23:25Hey, get a load of this, Unc.
23:27Being a good citizen means voting in elections,
23:30keeping informed and making our opinions known to our representatives,
23:34serving on juries and school boards, and...
23:38Unc, how about that time you wiggled out of jury duty?
23:43Well, I did get off the jury, but I was serving on the school board at the time.
23:47Let me see that speech, Leroy.
23:49Sure.
23:52Representative.
23:54Hmm.
23:55This makes a lot of sense.
23:58Our American heritage, the rights and liberties which we cherish,
24:03must be made an increasingly vital part of our everyday life.
24:07We must work together to keep our freedom, not just take it for granted.
24:12That's right.
24:14Why, George, we'd better watch it.
24:16We could lose some of those liberties before we know it.
24:18Come on, Leroy, we're going down to Kraft Park and tell them a thing or two.
24:45You got the speech, Unc?
24:47You bet. Right here in my inside pocket.
24:50Boy, if you lost that, you'd be sunk.
24:52Oh, I don't know.
24:54Well, you've got to have something to read. You haven't got it memorized.
24:57Well, I'd get up there and say something.
25:00I know a few things, my boy.
25:02I've got quite a bit of history right at my fingertips.
25:05Yeah?
25:06Yes, indeed.
25:07Did you know, my boy, that yesterday was the 85th birthday of one of our closest neighbors?
25:12Oh, Mr. Bullard?
25:15Mr. Bullard, no.
25:17It was the 85th birthday of our country's good neighbor to the north.
25:21Canada.
25:22No kidding.
25:23That's right.
25:25The United States and Canada have been good neighbors for more years than you could count.
25:29Working together.
25:31Each contributing to the prosperity of the other.
25:34We have the kind of working friendship that should be a lesson and an inspiration to other countries all over the world.
25:40All right, George, let's all wish Canada a happy birthday.
25:43Good night, folks.
